61  Landscape,  Cattle,  Sheep  &  Fowls. 


(Painted  expressly  for  the  Count  de  Marneffe’s  magnifi¬ 
cent  gallery.) 

This  exquisite  picture,  painted  in  the  artist’s  prime,  is 
acknowledged  by  connoisseurs  the  finest  on  the  American 
continent.  The  early  works  of  this  great  artist  are  all 
gathered  into  Royal  Galleries  and  private  collections  in 
Europe,  and  therefore  never  sold  by  public  auction.  The 
display  of  masterly  ability  in  the  drawing  and  painting  is 
superb.

portant  Landscape  and  Cattle  pictures  ever  imported,  and 
one  of  the  most  attractive  works  in  the  collection,  is  beauti¬ 
ful  in  its  expression,  in  color,,  and  finish.  The  Landscape  is 
charmingly  rendered  ;  and  the  graceful  grouping  of  cattle 
shows  the  masterly  ability  of  the  two  great  artists.
